Oasis reunion

[open face surgery]

Seems that Dublin was/is the only one with dynamic pricing. Didn't try to get tickets or anything but that's sickening.

What a circus...who the fuck would be bothered with it...

There's 'in demand' standing for Wembley going for £355 on Ticketmaster

[open face surgery]

Ah, my mistake so.

I know a chap who got gold circle tickets and I reckon he could send himself on a two week all inclusive foreign holiday with what's been offered to him already for them. Puts it in perspective really, doesn't it?

If I'm choosing a gig over a holiday it would have to be something absolutely unbelievable and oasis really aren't

[The Heretic]

As long as people are prepared to pay stupid money people will charge stupid prices...

[astfgyl]

All that would have to be done really is for everyone to boycott one gig over the pricing and that would work but you'll always have the I'm alright jack crowd who will pay it

[Bürggermeister]

Yeah, so many cunts just... roll with it.

Without coming across like a complete music snob (and I'm not for the most part, there's plenty of stuff I'm partial to which isn't great), it seems the more fairweather people are with their taste in music, the more they are willing to pay. I was listening to some fluff piece on the radio on way to work the other morning, talking to fans who were on their way to Coldplay. The levels of fawning were off the charts... we're talking about a band here that have absolutely zero credibility. I have a few bands that I'm absolutely obsessed with, but there's a line I'd draw with regards to paying to see them live. Genuinely, the only band I'd pay silly money to see live at this stage would be Faith No More, if only for the fact I've never seen them. But would I pay over the odds to see them? Probably not.

I think you're 100% on the money there.

When FnM played years ago my brother paid €200 for a ticket. I thought he was mad. With hindsight I'm incredibly jealous and would pay that to see them, if push came to shove.

[astfgyl]

I'd pay the 200 for fnm no bother having seen them in the olympia. Best gig I was at

[ochoill]

I saw FNM twice and it was €30 one time and $50 another.  They are unreal but no way would I pay 200 quid to see fucking anyone that is dense behaviour

Does than include a ticket to Germany?

Nope but getting a holiday out of going to a gig is worth it alone sure, we went for a week and including gig, flights, hostel, it was about €150 each at the time.  Done it loads of times but never just for a gig - always made a holiday out of it to make it worth the expense.

Edit: just checked something there, Saw Devin Townsend in a Roman Amphitheatre in Bulgaria, doing Ocean Machine in full and a "Best Of" set, with an orchestra.  Booked a week's holidays around it.  Total including gig, flights, hotel, for two of us: €460.  Even funnier, Ryanair flight home was delayed over a certain limit and we were given €800 compensation

Yeah, just to be clear...I think €200 is ok for a 'bucket list' gig. Anything in the €300 plus territory is retarded, esp if it's for something like fucking Oasis.
It's madness when you think about it. I had a stage in my early twenties when I was obsessed, and I mean OBSESSED with Swans, and I never thought I'd ever get to see them live. Lo and behold they played Cork, Cyprus Avenue I think, and I paid an absolute pittance.
